...while I pondered, weak and weary...  Reply with quote  

Just sitting here staring blankly at my computer watching the rhythmic bouncing of the HDD LED, festooned upon my PC, blink and sputter along. Its percussive bantering interrupted only by short spurts of psychotic thrashing, then settling down to a whispered, soothing stroking again. I am thrown aback to my younger days, a simpler, and yet more complex time of Autoexec.bat's and config.sys's. A time when an errant IRQ conflict due to a newly installed IO card meant reluctantly pulling elusive little black jumpers, the fairy elves of yesteryear, from a forest of copper pins, fleeting your fingers and burrowing themselves down, gleefully taking refuge within a thick lush canopy of carpet below your feet. Lost to the next sweep of the vacuum. A time when you could judge your system health by the activity of the little HDD LED friend, joyfully indicating compliance to each instructed access, joined in chorus by the steady drone accompaniment of the turbo LED. A time when undesired activity of this HDD LED companion was almost assuredly indicative of something foul afoot. How I long for that time. For now, among every service and software solicitation, sanctioned by the Windows environment, this HDD LED, this once complicit companion and educator, has been relegated to reluctant turn signal. How I weep for thee, once regal, now regretful.

All I got from it was sitting in your office stroking. EW!

Thanks, I had the time to think of something to say other than "I hate how my HDD LED blinks all the frackin time now."
